This is my entry - Mumbles - where I probably won't be going this summer as the rental market has risen in price faster than my salary. The boys will be gutted, they feel the pull of the old place as much as I do. Funny how nostalgia is catching. Maybe we can manage a couple of nights in a Premier Inn in Swansea...

Mumbles :
land of my mother, coast full of beaches, soon to be defunct lifeboat station
on stilts with fabulous boat slide into the sea. Previously famous for the mile
of pubs. Still an old-world feel to it - visit boutique ‘Treasure’ there since
my youth, full of up-market souvenirs and coffee shop. A magnet for artists,
the area is of outstanding natural beauty. You can eat outstandingly too,
like the lava bread gratin at Langland’s brasserie on the beach.
